NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. There are two specimens from Saguache Co, collected by Ramalay in 1935 and 1939, confirmed. The location is a little west of Saguache, an area around Saguache Creek now dominated by hay farming, and the species may have been eradicated in the Watershed. These two specimens mark the south end of the USA distribution, which is restricted to Colorado and southern Wyoming—except for a very few records from Taos, Colfax, and Otero counties in New Mexico. The first two counties border with Colorado, the last with Mexico.
